As the father of a fighter pilot, I was going to say that genetics are unlikely to be an issue.

Then I reflected on his brother and sister's performances in the FA18 sim without prior flying experience and how his daughter gained her first sim-Mig kill at the age of five, compared with my PPL inspired sim disasters.

I am am forced to conclude that genetics could be involved but, in my case, it was recessive.
